Sport

Riseholme College is committed to sport, both as a career and lifestyle choice.

We understand the value of sport in not only improving physical and mental wellbeing, but also developing teamwork and leadership skills that can be crucial in later life.

Sports and Health Science Centre

Riseholme College recently opened a new, dedicated Sports and Health Science Centre as part of the £11.5million second phase development of the Showground Campus, on Lincolnshire Showground.

The facility includes a state-of-the-art gym, multi-use sports hall and flood-lit all weather pitch. These facilities are beneficial to our sports students’ studies but are also available for use by other students and the wider general public.

Partnerships

Riseholme is proud to work in partnership with some of the biggest sporting organisations in the region.

We work closely with Active Lincolnshire, which is funded by Sport England to get more people across the country active and involved in sport.

We are also partners with Premiership side Leicester Tigers RUFC. The club adds value to the College’s Rugby Union Academy with high-level coaching, sports science and match opportunities support.

Sports Academies

Students at Riseholme are eligible for the seven highly successful academies for aspiring sports stars run at the Bishop Burton Campus, in East Yorkshire. These include men’s and women’s rugby union, rugby league, football, equine, netball and modern pentathlon.

All our professional coaches have elite-level sport experience and applicants to academy programmes must demonstrate achievement or potential at regional or national level.
